Got it, that makes sense. I'll be sealing hinges tonight. I'm going to try Archie's idea with the Radid-Tac which probably means I'll be letting it sit until tomorrow before I trim off the excess.
Thanks,

Pulling the tape against the blade won't work. The tape is too stretchy, regardless of how sharp the blade is. I typically do a little of both. I do NOT cut against the surface, but rather I'm lightly pulling the tape against the blade and sliding the blade at the same time. I new blade will cut very cleanly. I have also taken a metal straight edge and laid it on the surface, placed the tape down and cut it on the surface of the straight edge.
